Man's Search for Meaning The Classic Tribute to Hope from the Holocaust

What it is about

Viktor Frankl combines a restrained account of survival in Nazi concentration camps with an introduction to logotherapy, his meaning-centered school of psychotherapy. The book does not romanticize suffering; it asks what freedom of response remains when circumstances cannot be changed, and how responsibility, work, love, and chosen attitude can orient a life. I keep it on this shelf because I want to stay honest about meaning, responsibility, and the stories I use to live.

Why I keep it

Meaning, from a man who found it in the worst place there is.
